Automatic Addition of Device and Credential Repository Devices to RME

Whenever you add devices to Common Services’ Device and Credential Repository, RME triggers the
Device Auto Management service. The devices that are added to Device and Credential Repository gets
added to RME automatically.
This service is enabled by default. That is, once you have added device to Device and Credential
Repository then automatically the devices get added to RME.
The Device Auto Management service gets triggered only when you add devices to Common Services
Device and Credential Repository through,
User interface (Common Services > Device and Credentials > Device Management)
Command line tool dcrcli
This service is not triggered when you upgrade a CiscoWorks license file.
Note View Permission Report (Common Services > Server > Reports) to check if you have the required
privileges to perform this task.
To enable the Device Auto Management setting:
Step 1 Select Resource Manager Essentials > Admin > Device Mgmt > Device Management Settings.
The Device Management Settings dialog box appears.
Step 2 Select Automatically Manage Devices from Credential Repository.

If any new devices are added in Device and Credential Repository (Common Services > Device and
Credentials > Device Management) these devices are also added in RME automatically.
If there are any devices that are deleted from RME before enabling this option, those devices are not
added to RME. You have to add those devices to RME manually. See Adding Devices to RME Manually.
